Completed projects

HAVNIVÅ KSS 2022

The project "Norsk Klimaservicesenter (KSS) Sea level project: Facilitating and disseminating knowledge about sea level rise" aims to produce input for a report on sea level rise in Norway, which will be part of the report on climate change in Norway. The report is published by the Directorate of the Environment. The input on sea level changes comes from observations and calculations and a major focus is on storm surges and extreme waves.

CAATEX

Sound can be used to measure the temperature of the ocean. The project "Coordinated Arctic Acoustic Thermometry Experiment" assessed the temperature of the Arctic Ocean for one year using acoustic thermometry to improve our knowledge of how much heat the ocean holds.

MOIRA

Cracks and ridges in sea ice are found everywhere in the Arctic. They vary in width, length, height and where and how often they appear. These features are possibly linked to ice movement processes. The project "Model for Sea Ice Radar Image Microstructure" studies this connection using satellite images.

DASIM II

The project "Data assimilation for sea-ice models on adaptive non-conservative meshes" has for the first time demonstrated the application of the EnKF to the Lagrangian Arctic version of the neXtSIM model which assimilates satellite products of sea-ice concentrations and sea-ice thickness over the winter from October 2019 to April 2020.

NCKS

AMTEC

The project "Arctic-Midlatitude Teleconnections and Eurasian Cooling" aimed to collect literature regarding cooling in winters in Europe and Asia and its connection with sea ice in the Arctic.

UAK

The main goal of the "Useful Arctic Knowledge" project has been to establish long-term cooperation between teaching and research institutions in Norway, the USA and Canada within selected themes in the Arctic.

EMULATE

Large-scale air movements in the atmosphere are of great importance for the climate, especially at regional level. The way the calculation methods for predicting the climate include the movements is not without errors. The project "Enhancing mechanistic understanding of mid-latitude large-scale circulation errors" reduced these errors and increased the understanding of the movements.

ARCPATH

In the project "Arctic Climate Predictions - Pathways to Resilient, Sustainable Societies", researchers combined knowledge of regional climate warnings and socio-economic change in the Arctic to support responsible and sustainable development in the region.

CHEX

The project "Climate hazards and extremes" produced information on future climate hazards and extremes with great relevance for the development of guidelines from decision-makers, industrial and financial players and local authorities.
